Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
What decided it
The proposed raising of the roof and dormers would result in a visually obtrusive building that no longer appears ancillary to the main house and would appear incongruous in the street scene of well-spaced substantial properties on good-sized plots.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 16 of the Worthing Core Strategy
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
